I broke down the notes from today's meeting into the categories below. The names in parenthesis indicate who is lead. Projects in the pipeline likely need refinement and/or better definition before we enlist student help.

I'm also attaching the whiteboard scribbles, FWIW.

action items: - (Max) investigate GPS clock hardware

I have a USB GPS in my office. It runs on Mac, Windows, Linux...

things students can work right away: - (Ti) test console dongles - (Chris) LDAP Mediawiki to local fail-through (PHP project) - (Ken, JohnR) hostbase true-up - (Ken, Dan) VM monitoring/enumeration w/ Nagios - (Hunter) advanced installer for OpenSolaris (if a student is worthy)

This looks good.

things students can work on with Datacenter access: - (Ti, Max) environmental monitoring inventory and setup - (Ti, Hunter) serial console racking/cabling for Core and Bio

projects in the pipeline: - (Max) NTP Stratum 0 (once hardware arrives)

See above. The tricky part is getting it from outside to inside. I think it's a worthwhile test to see if it can get a signal through the glass in the tinkerlab. If so, we may just need to mount a nettop up there and get it on the net.

- (Ken, Ti) VM managagement - (Ken, Dan) old machine replacement/retirement - (Ken) ihw data load - (Ti, Jason, Corby) What to do with environmental data - (Ken, JohnR, Chris) virtualhelpdesk form cleanup I want to throw our status board onto this pile, too. I think it could be a fun project.
